Description: This season the magazine includes a mix of fashion and editorial features with a strong, retro feel. The four fashion stories are:
About a Girl - Soft and girly garments in watery shades. This feminine collection features Kid Classic and Kidsilk Haze in textured sweaters, cardigans and scarves and includes crochet.
The Depths of Winter - Photographed in the snow with a ski chalet feel, this collection includes the use of the heavier Rowan yarns such as Plaid and Polar which are knitted into rugged garments. This collection includes menswear and has an active, outdoor feel.
Go Girl - Re-visit the glossy glamour of the 70's with garments inspired by
the designs of the time. Photographed in a simple studio setting, the bold
garments include the sparkle of Lurex Shimmer and bead work to evoke a true
diva style.
Pure Vintage - This collection is photographed against the backdrop of a french
chateau and ruins to reflect the vintage feel of the garments. With fairisle,
lace and floral garments which have a tailored look and include embroidery
and embellishment.
Other features include a look at fashion exhibitions and museums alongside
a profile of the designer Marion Foale. A section on edgings will help you
transform a simple shape into a personalised garment. There is also a designer
cushion feature and our usual `What's New' review of the cutting edge of knitting
and crochet.
